Consumer research from market research and consulting company Parks Associates reveals 29 per cent of US broadband households get most of their news from social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. According to 360 View: Digital Media & Connected Consumers, despite the emergence of online sources for news, the majority of broadband consumers feel that television is more authentic than online video.
“Among all US broadband households, 52 per cent feel television is more authentic than online video, and the prevalence of this attitude increases with age,” said Glenn Hower, Senior Analyst, Parks Associates. “By contrast, nearly 30 per cent of consumers ages 18-24 believe online video is more authentic than television, and this age group watches content from video sharing sites an average of 13 days per month, compared to only seven days per month for consumers in the 35-44 age group.”
